My 2014, L4, 650 V Strom seat was the most comfortable seat I can remember on any of my bikes in recent years. I sold it 3yrs ago.
I went to look at a new, zero miles, 2021 reg, 650 V strom recently, as I was tempted by the looks of the bike, and a very good price, but on sitting on it, I found it very uncomfortable, sliding me forward towards the petrol tank, and it seemed hard as well. I did not ask for a test ride. The seat has definitely been altered ( not for the better for me ) since my 2014 model.
